What is Floci?

Floci is a family of fast, free, MIT licensed local cloud emulators. You run them in Docker, point your SDK at localhost, and develop or test against AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without ever touching the real thing.

  • floci (AWS): 45 services, 1,925 SDK conformance tests, 24ms startup, 13 MiB idle.
  • floci-az (Azure): Blob, Queue, Table, Functions, and App Configuration.
  • floci-gcp (Google Cloud): Firestore, Datastore, Secret Manager, etc.

Everything is built on Quarkus Native and compiled with GraalVM, which is why startup is measured in milliseconds and idle RAM stays in single-digit MiB. No auth tokens. No community edition sunset. No enterprise feature flags hiding the parts you actually need. Just MIT, all the way down.

Why this exists

Local cloud emulators are quiet infrastructure for the whole industry: CI pipelines, integration tests, and the local dev loop millions of developers run every day. That space has historically been owned by tools that eventually paywall, sunset their free tier, or lock away the features developers depend on most.

Floci is the alternative. It is a permissively licensed, community driven set of emulators built to stay free and stay fast. The goal was never to be a cheaper version of something that already exists. It is to be the version that is still here in five years: still MIT, still maintained, still yours.

What sponsorships fund

  • Maintenance time: keeping wire compatibility current with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud SDK updates across Java, Python, Node, Go, Rust, and .NET.
  • Infrastructure: DNS (localhost.floci.io), Docker image hosting, and CI runners for the cross-SDK compatibility test matrix.
  • Contributor support: code review, design feedback, and triage for the growing contributor base across the floci-io org.
  • What comes next: deeper service coverage and whatever the community reaches for after that.

Who's behind it

Floci was created and is maintained by Hector Ventura, alongside a growing group of contributors across the floci-io organization. Development happens in the open on GitHub, with active discussion in the Floci Slack and GitHub Discussions.

If your team relies on Floci in CI or local development, sponsoring is the cleanest way to keep the project independent, maintained, and free for everyone who comes after you.

@floci-io

Floci is Any Cloud. Locally. An open-source emulator that lets you run AWS, Azure, and GCP on your own machine, fully free. Your sponsorship keeps it fast, open, and moving forward.
